The Federal Republic of Gonthavnor is a massive, genial nation, ruled by the Arch Mage with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.667 billion Gonthavnorians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Roke Peninsula. The average income tax rate is 88.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gonthavnorian economy, worth 497 trillion Goldivories a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 135,709 Goldivories, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Board shorts have replaced board rooms, promising seven years of bad luck leads to seven years of community service, the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, and the government seeks peaceful forum with terrorists. Crime is totally unknown. Gonthavnor's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Gonthavnor is ranked 305,136th in the world and 5,062nd in the South Pacific for Most Ignorant Citizens, with 0.7 missed references per hour.
